We are a mile and a half inland, midway between St Michael's Mount and Porthleven, on the SW slopes of Tregonning Hill. It is just five minutes by car to the south coast beaches at Praa Sands, Rinsey Cove and Prussia Cove. From the farm there are wonderful views across the fields to the Penwith hills and the sea at Mount’s Bay. There is a footpath from the farm to the top of Tregonning Hill with fantastic views both to the south coast (Mount’s Bay) and the north coast at St Ives Bay.
We welcome children and dogs. There is a field to play in right next to the cottage and there is also a footpath to Tregonning Hill – a short walk with fabulous views. Even in the busiest summer months the farm is a peaceful retreat at the end of the day

Lower Balwest Farm is located almost halfway between Lands End and Lizard Point, which makes it a perfect base to explore all of West Cornwall. St Michael’s Mount, St. Ives, Penzance, Mousehole, Kynance Cove, Helford and Falmouth are just a few of the places within half an hour’s drive. West Cornwall is a magical place and even in high summer it is possible to find unfrequented coves, cliffs and woodland if you are prepared to explore.
